Got mine free as a gift from work in 2018. Still works perfectly, but since day 1 I have not been able to get over how good the bass and overall sound is for such a small speaker. Highly recommend

Snagged one of these used for $20 locally! I like it a lot and use it for my computer speaker, I just wish it had a way to disable the auto off so it stayed on all the time.

We’re talking about a speaker under $150 here buddy. The Bose sound link mini beats 95% of the speakers mentioned in these comments, in terms of sound quality. I also don’t want a sub stealing my $1500 B5 speaker.

I’ve had a Bose Mini Soundlink since 2012 still going strong and sounds incredible, even better than some newer ones.

I beg to differ, attempting to change battery was not easy and i ruined it. Very sad. Loved it. Would not got back together...

I have a Bose soundlink and a soundlink mini and I think they’re both pushing 15 years. The mini has been drug all over golf courses and gotten wet countless times. The soundlink has been outdoors on patios or back porches everywhere I’ve lived that entire time

I actually tried to buy a Soundlink mini like that on eBay and both times they were fakes. I have one and would like to get another.

They’re most likely to be fake especially from China. I was refunded no problem but they took a month to get here. Shameful
